[W126 Coupe] Landiss, Lambda and O2, my 2 cents!

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Dan Landiss:

Just wanted to say thanks for the fantastic write up on the lambda 
adjustments etc.  That web page has come in handy several times now over 
the past few years.  I will suggest to anyone looking to get an actual 
duty cycle reading and have the ability to read the o2 sensor response 
while driving, that Sears has a great meter for only $25-30.  This will 
save you the guesstimating with an analog meter providing a voltage 
sweep only.  The Sears unit gives you the actual live percentage and the 
O2 once you hit the right scale for VDC is a plus as well.

Also just learned of an MB fix to the O2 sensor from the mercedeslist 
folks (george) that involves applying a ground strap between the o2 
sensor and the transmission where MB determined that the exhaust as it 
aged could and did loose the ground path.  Sure was a nice feeling using 
the $35.79 Ford Mustang 302 Bosch 3-wire o2 sensor vs. the Mercedes $160 
something o2.

Hey, everyone have a nice evening.  I am up where I heard form my oldest 
son, Sean who volunteered yet again to take the place of a Dad in Iraq.  
This was a very tough past several days and I was glad to hear from him 
givin his duties while there and events that occurred of late.  Can't 
say more than that.

Take care,

Dick
